S8 Samsung I'm currently using still does best part of a day using it for work and internet/email. Normaly goes on charge early evening. I've had Samsung for years and they've always been knackered within 2 years this ones the best yet.

I periodically shut all the apps running so they're not in the background running. That helps a lot.

I was yes . Lost them in the house will have to look them out . On sky go a lot atm as well , use it instead of tv
You must be using a lot of powerful apps to not even last a day. If your watching a lot of sky go that will probably be it. A newer samsung would probably be as good as any, I doubt any of the new phones will be significantly better than any other under high battery use. I would suggest find your power banks being the better option. My Samsung Galaxy S9 will last a whole day but I have chargers in every tractor, telehandler, truck, by my computer (wireless charging stand) and by my bed and i have a power bank so it can always be charged wherever I am.

For a no nonsense android look into the Android One line of phones, a few manufacturers do them. The manufacturers have made an agreement with Google not to add their horrible software and other "bloatware", I believe carriers also aren't allowed to add bloatware.

Sorry to hijack the thread but also looking for a new smartphone quite like the look of the Samsung S9 but does it have a glass back and is it going to stand the riggers of farm life ? Thanks . Also what do you think of the Samsung x cover 4 are they any good?
